Agios Georgios Cathedral

Our stay at the Villa Selena was beyond our expectations. The service was amazing and included delicious breakfasts provided in the morning on an outdoor patio by a very helpful hostess who provided lots of advice about things to do in the area. In the evening we sat in a rooftop patio with a beautiful view of the Mediterranean Sea. Across the road we had access to a pier and great swimming. We were a 10 minute walk from shopping and restaurants. The accommodations were lovely with a beautiful shared sitting room in addition to our private bedroom and bath.

This was an amazing find, and we selected this island in part because we found this great hotel. The property is a newly restored mansion, and all of the original structure is maintained while being updated with modern touches. Thus, each room is distinctive. The new design is understated to complement the original building, yet they have done an amazing job of making it suitable for today's traveler. There are lots of outlets, well placed lighting, well equipped bathrooms, and more. While the structure was amazing, most impressive was the young, energetic, creative, service-minded staff. Hotel personnel in the dining room and the reception areas went above and beyond regularly in arranging reservations including a tour, booking taxis, massages, etc. The young, very talented woman hotel manager was gracious and explained the history of the property along with describing the extensive restoration The included breakfast was excellent with a variety of menu choices. The hotel is about a 10-minute walk to the downtown and harbor areas where visitors will find good shopping and great restaurants. We would return there again and will tell our traveling friends about this unique experience.
